Hi,

looks nice, however I do not understand the order of the awards.
Could you maybe explain/elaborate on that? Is that a Bavarian thing?

Best regards,
Michel

Looks like a 1st Bavarian Armee Korps guy. Mounted his state award first, then the national/Prussian and finally his LS medal.

NICE !!!!!

Veerryyy nice

and finally his LS medal.

I think that is the Bavarian cross for the war of 1866.

Looks like a bar the guy made up by himself over a jeweler's assembled bar. He bought the mounting and put the awards on himself. Still a nice bar

Thanks Gentlemen.

The first one is a Bavarian Jubileemedal with crown 1909.

It was given on the occasion of the 70th Anniversary of Prinzregent Luitpold as owner of 1. Artillery Regiment.

Awarded to the Military House, the knights of Militär-Max-Joseph-Orden, all active officers and noncommissioned officers of 1. Feldartillerie-Regiment.
All officers and higher officials who served at 1.FAR, noncommissioned offisers and enlisted men who served at 1. FAR during a campaign.

A well educated collector-friend informed me, that the last place would fit a Bavarian 1866 cross, or in many times crosses/medals of the veterans associations.

So I got a lot items, all out from an old farm, missing a cross for 1866, but with a medal from vets association, found in the same drawer.
So now I am pretty sure the bar is comlete
